A Primitive Turkish Bath.

was at the close Of a long march on a hot
day. The Indians fixed a tepee until il
was dir tight, heated a rock and then
rolled it into the tepee. One by ne we
crawled into it, after having stripped of
our clothing, Some of the Indians didn't
have much on, and then we packed to-
gether as close as sardines in a box. /

utes the lord high executioner or master
OF ceremonies would talk Indian and
throw a little water out of a can on the
rock. This would Gil the with
steam. 1t seemed an age before they let
me so, but ! guess it wasn't more than
half an hour. Then we all made a rush
TO the river near by, and a dash Of a few
minutes made us as fresh as q daisy. No

THE latest figures place the the ma
jority against the r~rohibitory amend
ment In Michigan at 5000. An anal
ysis of the vote will undoubtedly
show that this majority has been OBJ
tanned In the towns, hut the signifi-
canoe of the result Is not thereby
much lessened. The defeat of pro-
hibition is due to experience under
that system and under the prevailing
tax system. Statistics collected by
Mr.. ID. Bethune Dufield, a distin.
guished jurist of Michigan, show
that under the prohibition law the
state had In 1874 q IA saloons, or one
for every 9o7 inhabitants. In May,
1875, a tax law was passed which re.
quired every retail seller Of spirit
uous or mixed liquors to pay an An.
nus. tax Of 5000, every wholesale
dealer $500, and every retail or
wholesale dealer in malt liquors alone
500. In 1876, q year after the law
vent into effect, the returns showed
that the number of dealers had been
reduced from 6,444 to 1857. a decrease
Of l,579. In 1877 the return showed
only 1896 dealers, q further reduction
of S7l. In 1852, six years after tue law
had gone into effect, there were In the
state only 4,i6l saloons. or one to every
$50 Of the population. Here was q de.
crease since 1874 OF 1883 saloons, near
ly 80 per cent. This had been &C
complished in spite OF the increase OF
population. II the ratio of saloons 10
population which existed under the
prohibition law had continued under
the tax law, the state would now hav.
10000 saloons instead Of 5000, whik.
the public treasury would have been
deprived OF more than the eight mill.
ion dollars OF revenue which has been
collected under the tax law. Such
stubborn facts, supplemented 10y the
similar experience Of other states, ar-
the influence which accounts for the
defeat Of prohibition In Michigan.
This constitutes q weighty argument
of general application.-(Omaha Bee.

The equestrian statue of Mehemet All

This is because of Mohammedan religious

his creations: "Put thou now a soul
into this thing thou hast carved or painted
in resemblance of my work." and when
the unhappy artists fail he will pack them

sorghum Sugar.

A correspondent writing from Fort Scott,
Kan. in Science, ON the results of expert
ments carried on in Kansas under the aus
pices of the department of agriculture, in
making sugar from sorghum, says:
This much, az least, can be said Of these
experiments. they have shown that good
marketable sugar can be made from sorghum
cane in sufficient quantities TO pay at the
present prices for the products and by-prod-
ucts of the manufacture The question as to
whether we ore TO have a national sugar in
dusfry in the United States will probably
work out its own solution before many years
These experiments in the manufacture Of
sIcar should have q particular interest for
scientific men. for their success means not
only a triumph OF science. but also a COM
plete vindication OF the policy Of giving gov
ernmeutal aid to scientific investigations
The development q the sorghum sugar in
dustry 50 far has been carried on entirely by
the department II agriculture with sppro-
pTiatious made by congress for that purpose
